Qualifikationsbedarf Oberflächentechnik: Unternehmen,Universitäten,Fachhochschulen. Need of qualification surface technology: enterprises,universities, universities of applied sciences

With constantly growing requirements for research, development and application the modern surface technology has been developed into an interdisciplinary key and cross section technology. Tailor‐made qualification is a substantial condition, in order to fully exploit the potential of innovation in this future field. Not sufficient offers of further education and lacking qualification of the operational personnel can obstruct the industrial application of surface technology. This paper specifies qualification requirements of enterprises within the area of surface techniques and reveals, how universities and universities of applied sciences adjust themselves future‐oriented to the qualification need and contribute to the broadening of the technological efficiency. Current studies are taken as a basis, which were conducted on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and coordinated by the VDI Technology Center Duesseldorf in the context of a qualification initiative on surface technology.
